My Gardener

I see her among the daisies
Weeding out distractors
from her garden of colour.

On hands and knees
She loosens the soil
With her trowel.

Each plant knows her care
And owes it's place to
Her garden design.

Bleeding hearts,
lilies,
forget-me-nots

All grow among the rocks
She deftly placed
to accent garden spots.

Her thumb is green
But her heart is golden
As she works among the daisies.


believe in what your heart feels...

Scorpio, I happen to love daisies..they are my favourite.
And, I love lilies, and bleeding heart, and..
In fact this sounds like my garden as it also has special rocks!!
This is wonderful in it's imagery,
I can clearly see your love tending her garden.
I love this!  And...I'm keeping it!
~Smiles & Hugs, Nancy~

(smiles) Yay! Oh Scorpio, this is beautiful, sweet friend, I believe gardening is truly an art made by God, to show how we are capable of giving life of our own, to the cherubs of the Earth and how a gentle grace makes the most beautiful magic happen! (big hugggssssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Scorpio, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Lovely piece, it reminds me of my mum out in her garden working planting flowers and plants.
